ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PETALUMA AMENDING THE ZONING MAP
CONTAINED IN THE IMPLEMENTING ZONING ORDINANCE, ORDINANCE NO. 2300 N.C. S., TO
CHANGE THE ZONING OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 200 GREENBRIAR CIRCLE FROM
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) TO R-4
APN 007-610-001 THROUGH 032
FILE NO. 13 -SPC -0122
WHEREAS, Gary Whitesides, with GALA Construction, submitted an application (13 -SPC -
0122) to the City of Petaluma for a Zoning Map Amendment and Site Plan and Architectural
Review for the property located at 200 Greenbriar Circle, APN 007-61-001 through 032 ("the
Project" or the "proposed Project"), and,
WHEREAS, the City's Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider
the proposed Implementing Zoning Ordinance amendment on June 17, 2014 and adopted
Resolution No. 2014-014; and,
WHEREAS, on August 4, 2014, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to
consider the proposed Zoning Amendment; and,
WHEREAS, on August 4, 2014, the City Council reviewed the CEQA evaluation for the
Project and adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act and the City of
Petaluma Environmental Guidelines; and,
WHEREAS, based on the City Council's review and consideration of the entire record
concerning the proposed zoning map amendment for the property located at 200 Greenbriar
Circle (APN 007-061-001 through -032), City council finds as follows:
1. The R-4 zoning designation will result in a use that is appropriate and compatible with
surrounding uses. The R-4 zoning district is consistent with the existing General Plan
designation for the site of Medium Density Residential (8.1 to 18 dwelling units per
acre) and will facilitate development within this density range. A mix of residential
development from low density to high density residential surrounds the site. The
Ordinance No. 2509 N.C.S.
Page 1
project is consistent with the established character of the surrounding neighborhoods
and the character within the South East Planning Subarea of the General Plan.
2. The R-4 zoning designation will allow for the development of infill housing on land
within the Urban Growth Boundary. The General Plan proposes development of
approximately 6,000 additional residential units and a build out population of
approximately 72,700. This represents an annual growth of rate of nearly 1.2% per
year.
3. Approval of the requested zoning map amendment facilitates implementation of the
General Plan 2025, provides compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood, and
provides housing development consistent with the City's adopted Housing Element.
The zoning amendment serves the public convenience, necessity, and general
welfare by implementing zoning consistent with adopted plans, policies, and zoning
code regulations. The proposed project would also require Site Plan and
Architectural Review approval by the Planning Commission for the proposed
development.
19 4. The requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) have been
20 satisfied through the preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project.
21 Mitigation measures have been proposed and agreed to by the applicant that will
1)? reduce potential impacts to less than significant.
